posticon FAQ: Different Styles for Different Forums


Edit: This method was outdated after the addition of body IDs. Check out a better way to do this at Runboard Extra.


After coming across Alpha Centauri's hack, I immediately came up with the following idea of using remote style sheets to skin each forum differently.

For this to work, you must have your own website that allows you to remotely link files from their server.

[Custom Language Set]

location_forumlink:
<a href="%1">%2</a><br /><link rel="stylesheet" href="http://sample.com/%2.css" />


Here you would simply name various css files the same as the forums, upload them to your website, and change sample.com/ to the correct path. The %2 in the above location_forumlink string will take on the name of each forum, causing it to point to it's corresponding style sheet.

I tried this on a test board, and it worked beautifully in IE, FF, and NS, even with a space in the css filename. I don't have Opera to test it in, so I can't guarantee that it'll work in that browser. If someone can test it in Opera and let me know if it works, please do! emoticon

Edited to add link because I just ran across Alpha's post again.

Neat, but if the server goes down, so does your layout emoticon

This is true, which is another reason to never settle for less than a 99.9% uptime guarantee with your web host. emoticon
